It sounds like Interstim may be what I am referencing. Not sure if there are also other options. My issue neurogenic bladder, not overactive bladder, so I am wondering if Interstim can help. I can feel when I need to go, I just can’t. Interstim seems to be geared more towards overactive bladder, but I will find out more. You say you are using intermittent caths. Is your situation neurogenic? Aside from the UTI’s does Interstim help reduce the number of times you have to cath?

@markpsp this is why I didnt go for the InterStim , I feel it is more geared towards overactive bladder which is not my issue...even more so I feel its about making $ off people suffering. Once the urologist I was seeing heard I wasn't interested in this device he "fired" me as a patient, telling me maybe He wasn't a good fit for me. I was so devastated..So many I've heard that have the Interstim still have to self Cath-and there's where the increase of UTIs comes it-no thank you!
